Acog isn't the most convenient optic to shoot like that. But it can work.
No matter what, you're going to want to be squared off to the target and with the super high piggy back red dot you wouldn't really be getting much more than bare chinweld anyway.
With my acog setups, when shooting passively, i pull the stock out almost all the way so i don't hit my nods. I don't have great chinweld either but it's enough to get hits on steel at reasonable distances from shooting a really high red dot through nods. Say out to 100.
In the army, as a gunner i had an acog on a saw which was sometimes mounted on the humvee. I found that using my non firing hand to hold my pvs 14 up to the back of the acog let me shoot passively with a lot more accuracy than walking the fire in with tracers or trying to keep the laser from bobbing all over the place. It's not the "right" way but it worked for me.
